I've got a long flight coming up. What will entertain me? Preferably fiction.

Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch, thoroughly enjoyed it.

The audiobook of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clark is fantastic, the narration is as close to perfect as you can get.

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver is an extremely atmospheric Arctic circle based ghost story which you'll remember all too clearly on your next winter bivvy.

Jonathan Strange is about 40hrs long, Dark Matter about 8hrs I believe so it depends on your definition of a long flight really...

China mieville's stuff is to be marvelled at on audio book. Might not be your normal cup of tea, but the story telling entranced me, throughly recommended. Though Richard matherson's (RIP this week). 'I am legend' (film only has title, no inspiration or poinience), is one that I always recommend, & I have a soft spot for world war Z (not what you expect)

I am legend. Absolutely amazing.

The film is a load of rubbish compared to the book.

I, Partridge. Coogan reads it in character.

The Black House, The Lewis Man or any of the other books by the same author - the best ex-cop returns to the Hebrides novels you'll read this year. Seriously good stuff.
